After finally taking a leap into some mid-tier audiophile gear this year, I found myself wanting to see if moderately-priced connections in my chain would alter or improve the quality of my music. I know that this is considered to be a highly-subjective topic, but I cannot disregard the changes my ears have picked up on after making these small upgrades.
I went through various cheapo usb cables to connect my phone to my new SMSL Sh-9/SU-9 stack. I've been listening to music for the past several months on the Hifiman Ananda, which are the best sounding headphones I've ever listened to, by far. Granted I've never gotten to hear any high-tier HPs before. These have been my biggest investment in headphones and I'm not disappointed! I use UAPP on my android device to pass the digital signal to my stack unchanged. I typically listen to Qobuz, but I've also compared services, listening to Amazon HD and doing free 3 month trials of Tidal and Deezer. Qobuz is still my favorite. And I figured a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link, so I started looking for a better data cable.
If you're not looking to spend much on a cable, but want something very reliable that doesn't make your music lose its sparkle and sound...Blah? I suggest the Monolith audio cable. Which runs about $15 bucks. Ive had other cables develop loose connections due to cheap termination, stop working all together , or cause distortion in the audio signal, but not with the Monolith. Its really well-built and sounds good, especially for the money. Id say save yourself some money and don't buy one of those typical $5-$10 cables. Just get the Monolith and enjoy.
But we're not here to focus on that cable! We're here to talk about the Pangea Audio cable! Im REALLY impressed with this thing! I can tell an audible difference to music that I've been listening to on the regular. I even had my wife help me do a blind test, using all the same equipment, but just swapping the connection cables and playing the same songs back-to-back. I could tell which time the Pangea was connected every time! It really seems to add some more detail to my listening experience. Enough for me to pick up on the better sounding setup. Im not good with all these audiophile terms but I can definitely tell you I observed an all-around better listening experience. Picking up on micro details that weren't noticeable before. The music simply sounds more alive and present.
I feel that this cable is the best middle-ground. The Goldilocks Cable! Its juuuust right. I can't really afford to spend several hundred $ on cables like some can. But I felt my new setup deserved a better cable and the Pangea does not disappoint!
I consider it a bonus that they are an America-based company that makes their cables here. So if that's something that's important to you, then you definitely might want to consider doing business with Pangea. Im very satisfied with their products and customers service thus far. I hope you will be too!
